I am using the DSOFramer Control to display Office Documents in a Windows App
per the instructions of Mr. Clement. Although it has made several things
easier, I am still having troubles finding documentation over two specific
issues.

One - When I load the document, a space where the reviewing toolbar should
be shows up. The toolbar itself does not appear, but there is a place for it
and it is selected in the right-click menu. I have set the toolbar property
of the DSO control to false and I have tried doing it before and after I load
the document, however this space still appears. This space gives the user
the ability to right-click and add other menus. When I do right-click and
add another menu, it causes a painting error to where a new space shows up,
but with the painting from the top ruler. Basically, what I need is a way to
programmatically remove the "Reviewing" toolbar so that space doesn't show
up. I cannot allow the user the ability to right-click and add toolbars.

Two - I need the document to be read-only. I tried casting the document to
a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.DocumentClass, which casts okay, but the
ReadOnly property of this class is readonly. Meaning I can't set the
ReadOnly property to true. So, how do I get the document to be completely
uneditable when the document is viewed?

Thanks in advance,
Aaron

I was able to fix both of these issues. For anyone else having the same
issues, here is the code that fixed each one:

object refmissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
//Fixes the read only issue
axFramerControl.Open(filename,true,refmissing,refmissing,refmissing);
            axFramerControl.Toolbars = false;
            axFramerControl.Menubar = false;
            axFramerControl.Titlebar = false;
//Fixes the Reviewing Bar appearing issue
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.DocumentClass myDoc =
(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.DocumentClass)axFramerControl.ActiveDocument;

myDoc.CommandBars["Reviewing"].Visible=false;

Thanks,
Aaron

Sorry, but the code for read only on my first reply does not work. If you
have the answer to my read only problem, please help.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

I am using the DSOFramer Control in a very similar way. To make it to the
user cannot modify the file I protect all but formfields. Since, I don't
use form fields on the document I'm previewing so the whole document is
essentially protected then. Here's some code to get you going and tickle
your brain... (I use a VB project to do most of the Word interop calls but
I have tried to convert all code to C# here):

object objFalse = false;
object protection = Word.WdProtectionType.wdAllowOnlyFormFields;

((Word.Document)axDSOFramer.ActiveDocument).Protect("password", objFalse,
protection);

This isn't the most informative and I'm sure you'll have questions.
Hopefully it will help. Feel free to ask questions, I'll do my best to
answer them.

Justin

I tried the code that u were running Aaron and it works fine for me, yes of
coz it has that visibiliy tweek which gives the user an a feel that they can
edit the document. I am working on this one and let u know if at all i get
somewhere, however if at all there is another solution ot the problem u can
save the doc as html file n show it thru Iframe n all. I hope this helps
will update u if i get something :)

You can put your dsoframer on a panel & when you want to set the read only,
set the panel property enable to false that should work !!!!

but I think its to late 2008
